navy after about 13. that is the kind of sensitivity you can hear. i'm going to stop right there. >> okay. first, i would like to offer a little bit of caution. we are making a comparison where we have different degrees of detail. the incumbent president, president obama, has a defense plan that is laid out in excruciating detail. he has to do that as the sitting president. he has to submit a budget in february to congress. and that actually goes out to 2017, beyond the next presidential term. we could look at that and see exactly what the president plans to go in terms of spending and pacific programs and structure. that can be both an asset and liability. because when you do that, you have

maybe we will find out on october 10 during the oral argument but navy the four justices who want to take a whack at affirmative action and racial preferences have decided that this was the only train that was going to be going by for a while. and justice kennedy in the end of force to say yes or no to this plan would say no. the argument that these preferences had mustered under grutter was upheld by unanimous -- unanimous panel including a very reluctant scores of his opinion basically says, i hate racial preferences because the supreme court has tied my hands and left me no choice so i have to uphold them. on the other hand seven of the 16 i think it is judges of the fifth circuit voted to grant rehearing on bank and reverse the they don't think that grutter tied their hands and i think that there's some speculation that maybe judge garza's concurrence of the result rather than strategic, that he was sending a message to the supreme court. you guys have really wrecked everything. even i can't whack these racial preferences so you will have to give me more information if i want to.
